Netflix on Monday announced that its action-packed locally produced show, "Shadow," will be launching on the global service on 8 March 2019.
"Shadow" is set and filmed in the heart of Johannesburg, starring local talent, Pallance Dladla who plays the role of Shadow himself and Amanda du-Pont, who plays Ashley, his love interest.
Following the brutal and unjust murder of a young girl, Johannesburg detective and former task force specialist, Shadrach ‘Shadow’ Khumalo, quits his job to become a fixer for people who, like him, have been failed by the criminal justice system. With the help of his former partner, Shadow cuts a swathe through the city’s underworld taking full advantage of a rare condition that affects his central nervous system: he is impervious to physical pain.
